Yesterday was Milena's birthday party.

We first had dinner at home, with Roland and Helen, two good friends of David and Milena from Berlin. Milena made a Spanish recipe, rabbit in a sauce with almonds, garlic and white wine.

Around 20:00 o'clock we went to the place where the party would be. The bar was really nice. It was decorated in 70's style, with the appropriate wallpaper, lights and posters on the wall. A nice detail was that the cola that they served was of an old German brand that was popular around that time.

The place was called the "Trinkhalle". With my best German knowledge I thought that this just means "drinking place", but I was told that this name is more usual for a booth outside where you can buy bottles of beer and get drunk on the street. There were around 50 guests for Milena I think.

We danced a lot, and I talked to many people. I liked that a lot.

I saw Ricco, the newborn baby of Osamu and Maisumi. They came to say congratulations to Milena, so Ricco went to his first party (except for his birth-party, of course). A very cute baby, she slept through everything.

We here home around 3:00 o'clock, and we slept in till very late this morning.

I made a couple of pictures yesterday, you can see them here.
